Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-December 2017

Oh, I'm sure I could have one or two, here or there, with no problem. Then one day, boom, the massive blackout drunk. Nope, not gonna risk it, It is not worth it. So much easier to stay off the booze.

Well I s'pose that's why we need to work on ourselves so that the attraction of that 'one or two' is no longer there... tho mind you - from Jude's story - there was no interest really... so yeah - maybe that's where the addiction comes in... never really goes completely... Christ I cannot imagine the circumstance that would make me think it was a good idea.. but..... who knows -- 'cunning, baffling, powerful' is how alcohol is described in the big book... how true!

Evening all. Busy day so just in and putting the feet up. I think being part of this community is priceless. Just reading and checking in every day keeps us focused and we learn so much from those ahead of us. Just found out one of my girls boyfriends is coming on 26th December to 31st. Happy days, as we live in the boonies, they will need to be chauffeured as she does not drive. Happy to be the designated driver and that takes care of any temptation. It was niggling at me a bit so feel very relieved.

[MENTION=24080]Jude58[/MENTION]...........thank you again. I don't think it does do us good to remember how and why we're here.

Mr Vervill

It is, it is. I've never felt guilty about refusing a drink........but I've hidden with shame for days for accepting one.

Very true. Bamboozling and madness come to mind as well.

Evening,
Love the Pre xmas conversations here, timing is perfect. Work night is tomorrow and Ive at least 1 other work yolk zero interest, but i'll drive and brush off questions about my lack of wine again.
Thanks for sharing [MENTION=24080]Jude58[/MENTION], glad your here. This site definitely kept me sober, so important to chat about the positives, remember the negatives, learn, listen, encourage.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-December 2017

Evening.........went to the craft thing at work this aftie and I was the only one there apart from the lass who runs it. In a charity shop I'd found some weekly sewing and knitting books from 1948/49 so took them with me.........who fancies a knitted bathing costume.
Sadly my bunged up nose is not the heating vents................I have a stinker of a cold. A proper sneezy, red nose stinker, family size pack of tissues usage in half an hour cold.

Good morning everyone. Another Baltic one, glad I don’t have to drive. Sorry you have a dose JC, feet up and lots of tlc and vitamin c. Very quiet in the barracks these days, hope all are ok. Nothing much planned for today, think I’ll put up the tree and some of the decorations.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-December 2017

Morning,
Very, very quet. Rusttop. While its this time of year its a season to be jolly..............its also the seaon to be run of your feet.

I've got the tree to decorate (my job as Mr JC says he doesn't have a clue............I always find by the end of bauble hanging I have come up with a host of new swear words..

Son & heir and his GF are coming over to get fed. Their kitchen is nowwhere near finished and they can't live on sandwiches and pot noodles for much longer.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-December 2017

Good Morning --- too RIGHT Rusters re. the barracks -- and c'mere lads -- after reading Jude's story - lets be aware that everyone who posts on MWO (down to the age of the site I s'pose) would be considered 'newbies' in AA terms - and each and everyone of us is perfectly capable of 'that moment' that Jude had... surely this is THE time of year that we should ALL be hanging out here?? Not bossing or bullying here - and believe you me I go walk about too cos it's such a busy time of year -- but..... yeah -- we not only should -- we must be here xx
